I love Vaja cases, though I haven’ t seen this one in person. Their customer service, though, must be the worst I’ve ever experienced. They think that EVERYTHING is the customer’s fault. Until they change that, I’m pretty much done with them.

...Sandra. I don’t understand. You have never seen one of their cases, but they have bad customer service? I would take what you read in the forums with a grain of salt. Most people don’t go out of their way to say that things went well.
I have had 2 of their cases so far. Both times, I was very happy. My only complaint is that they could do a better job with order tracking. Only way to know the status was to email them.
I still only buy their cases.

Read what she said: she hasn’t seen THIS ONE in person. Not that she’s never seen their cases. Sheesh!

Hmm… Very sorry to hear it Sandra. I’ve had quite a few of their cases, and three so far that have had to go back for one reason or another… They have never blamed me for any, and have gladly replaced them. You do have to pay for shipping to their Miami returns center, though.

Sherman…My bad. I misread it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Sheesh!

They are great cases, however they take a very, very long time to get once you order. I doubt I would order another due to this.

I own seven Vaja products—most of them cases—so I do have some experience. My experience during the few times I’ve dealt with customer services has been abysmal. My most recent experience was bad enough that I very likely will never do business with them again. I do hope that others who choose to order anyway will have better luck than I did.
